	Come now, Giovanni!  I was there, and loved it immensely!!  
Especially the boot schtick w/Fritz.  You were magnificantly sharp with 
the servants, and your hand gestures were of the supreme in flamboyance!  
You did a wonderful job, in fact, you encouraged me to respond to folks

	Again, wonderful schtick!
